[Maxillary fissure cysts in Senegal. Analysis of a series of 14 cases]. / Les kystes fissuraires des maxillaires au Sénégal. Analyse d'une série de 14 cas.

The fissurary cyst is an non-odontogene and epithelial cyst. Their frequency in Senegal compared to the epidemiological records in European countries had led the authors to carry out a study. Around 14 fissurary cysts have been recorded in a seven year period. The teeth affected by the tumour could be saved in case of an early diagnosis.
